About this episode

The episode explores Georgetown's MS-ESM program and its role in preparing sustainability leaders.

At the intersection of business, science, and sustainability, the Master of Science in Environment and Sustainability Management (ESM) at Georgetown McDonough offers the kind of leadership development the world needs. As companies and governments grapple with climate change, resource management, and the transition to more sustainable business models, there's growing demand for professionals who understand both environmental science and how organizations actually operate. In this special edition of the Clear Admit MBA Admissions Podcast, host Graham Richmond welcomes MS-ESM Program Director Kerrie Carfagno and recent MS-ESM alumna Cecilia Rios to explore what the program looks like, from both the academic and student perspectives.
